Consumer perception, Animal Care, & Herd Size

What’s causing the increasing beef prices?  You’ve heard what the commercials say, but what type of beef is really the best?  Returning guest, Ryan Batt, joins Sal Sama and Ryan Priest in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground, powered by Premier Companies.  Ryan is the Facility Manager for United Producers, and he’s not afraid to ruffle some feathers with his answers to those questions!

Ryan provides insight into the increased beef prices and the many things that impact the quality of beef.  You’ll learn about the two calving seasons, how the large and small farms care for the calves, and various cattle vaccines.  He’ll provide thoughts on antibiotic-free meat, grazing programs, reasons the cow numbers might be decreasing, and the costs that come with raising a cow before you ever make a dollar.  This is another episode you won’t want to miss!
